Studying decolonisation and space development. PhD student (Politics-IR of outer space/ astropolitics) at the University of Leicester. Researcher (on-leave) at BRIN Indonesia (ex-LAPAN).
To investigate 🇮🇩's outer space affairs means to understand the disputes, incl. the violent ones, over what constitute as "🇮🇩".

Here is my published reflection and excitement on K.E. Schulze's "Contesting Indonesia" (2024). Kudos to @lsereviewofbooks.bsky.social's Anna and team!

Finally made it to the Cable and Wireless archives in beautiful Cornwall. There are so many great collections on submarine cables, satellite communications, and long-haul wireless.

As my debut on this platform, let me also post my book-review debut on @iajournal.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/ia/i...

The book tries to employ IR theories to predict future(s) in outer space, using history as precedence and sci-fi as illustrations. Also some Sun Tzu's.
Sun Tzu in space: what International Relations, history, and science fiction teach us about our future
This book neither prescribes an exhaustive space warfare strategy derived from Sun Tzu's works, nor predicts a Chinese-dominated future of outer space. Rat
